118 A Former Employee (1/2)

”Lian-” Han Yuan stares at her crying face in a daze. He doesn't know how to react to her abrupt tears.

Su Lian wipes her face with the back of her hand. ”I know he's been kidnapped. Just tell me who took him and why they did.”

Looking at her serious expression he sighs helplessly. ”One of my former employees.”

Su Lian's eyes widen in shock. ”Wh-what why? Did you fire him? Is he asking for ransom? How does he even know that Yichen is your child?”

”It's not a him, it's a her. And I don't know how she found out. It must have been a coincidence. She hasn't contacted me yet. For now, you just stay here and wait with me. My men are already out combing the streets for her.”

Su Lian wanted to refute but Han Yuan's phone starts ringing.

She keeps quiet while staring at it anxiously.

Han Yuan looks down at the caller ID before looking up at her. He pats her hand lightly while shaking his head. ”It's my mother,” he says to her before answering it.

Han Yuan: ”Hello”

Liu Yumei: ”Come home for dinner.”

Han Yuan: ”I can't. I'm busy.”

Liu Yumei: ”Busy with what? Tell me what exactly could be more important than your own family?”

Han Yuan: ”It's-”

Liu Yumei: ”Did you not see the news? That girl Shen Xun is on the lose. I don't think we should wait for the police. Send some of our own men out to look for her too.”

Han Yuan: ”I already did.”

Liu Yumei: ”So fast?”

Han Yuan: ”She took my son.”

Liu Yumei: ”What?” Liu Yumei immediately becomes anxious. ”She took Yichen?”

Han Yuan remains silent.
